    You’ve also got a lot to be grateful for in Ilfracombe. EVERY town and city changes over time,nothing stays the same! Ilfracombe is still a very popular resort and we holiday 2 or 3 times along this part of the coast and visit Ilfracombe regularly.We love it ! Love from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    This is excellent it shows that concrete and changing something to make it better is NOT always the way for the future, as a collector of all things N Devon esp Ilfracombe through to Clovelly Hartland, Down to Holsworthy, across to Hembury and back to Knapps House, it sadens me to see Ilfracombe was not always changed for the better.

    My Grandmother was born in Ilfracombe in 1902 and my Mum 1944. Always wondered what it looked like for my Grandmother in the early 1900’s, now I know. Nana would talk of the ladies and gentlemen promenading in fine clothes. The poor children who lived near the harbour were known as Quay shites, as they would go to school ridden with fleas and lice. Nana lived through WW1, the Spanish flu and the blitz in London WW2. Had seen some terrible things, but was always kind and interested. Her father, my great grandfather won a gold medal at Bisley in 1908, He was called John Beer and was a local gamekeeper.

    The town looks even worse in 2021. So, Ilfracombe has been neglected for over 40 years.
